Straw Bale Garden Part 1
This year our family decided to finally put in a garden. Not just any garden. Oh no we go BIG or go Home! We chose a Staw Bale Garden. Why you ask? Here are a few reasons as to why we put in this type of garden:
*75% less labor
*Raised height, easy planting
*NO weeding
*Extends the growing season
*Higher germination on seeds
*Predictable performance
*Impossible to overwater
*Holds moisture well
*Creates new media yearly
*Easy to move location
*Automated water daily is okay
*No crop rotation needed
